An early goal of Hivetool was to develop a $50 scale. A developers kit is being planned to
- get beta units in the field for testing,
- gather user feedback and
- provide a platform to foster open source community development.
It will contain the hard to find or special order items from China:
Contents:
- 4 50 kg C3 load cells
- 1 HX711 ADC board with shield and screw terminals attached

The rest of the materials can be obtained from local suppliers.
